[Mailman-Users] Re: remove this?

[Clayton, Robert]

Finally, logic prevails!

If I as a lay person can figure out how to remove them, then anyone should be able to. I am far from a programmer.

You know, we have this same argument every few weeks. Barry, can the
FAQ/INSTALL/README/etc be updated with a comment about this so we can simply
point them to the FAQ and quit having to re-argue this every time?

My bottom line is simple. Mailman is a standards-based system. These headers
are part of the standards. Taking them out is The Wrong Thing To Do. If you
want to do it anyway, on your server, BMG. But don't ask us to show you how,
or assume that because you want it that way that we have to help. And if you
don't know enough to fix the code on your own, you shouldn't be making
decisions like this on how things ought to be done.
